Measure the circumference parallel to the ground and keep track of your
growth on a daily basis. After a week or 2 of good growing you should be
able to predict the size it will be just before Halloween, if it keeps
growing....I hope you are watering daily
Rough estimates would be
Circumference         Weight
70 inches             93 lbs
80 inches            129 lbs
90 inches            175 lbs
100 inches           233 lbs
110 inches           303 lbs
120 inches           388 lbs
130 inches           488 lbs
140 inches           604 lbs
150 inches           739 lbs.
160 inches           892 lbs.
167 inches          1012 lbs.
There are also other calculations which are more accurate but they
require 3 measurements.  They can be found on other webpages..
